for your asks post 😌 10. What is the last beverage you had?, 28. What was the last thing that made you laugh? and 74. What is your favorite book?
Thank you! These are cute:
10: Boring answer: water, since it’s 7am and I have my water bottle on my nightstand lmao. But honestly at home I barely have any other beverage stocked up.
28: Mmm… like a chuckle laugh would probably be during talking to somebody at the gym yesterday, a stressed/sad/oh my god one probably was from being stressed at work bc it’s the busy af season, and a real big one was probably from this weekend with my SO after taking a hit tbh.
74: This one has stuck with my since I was 14. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron.
It’s gothic. It’s mysterious. It’s gorgeous. It’s rich. I’ve never been to Barcelona but I feel like I have when I read this. Absolutely STUNNING. By chance I found it because my drama teacher my freshmen year of high school lent it to me. Idk why because it wasn’t super appropriate for a 14 year old? But whatever. The book is perfection.

My Favorite Books of 2021
My Favorite Books of 2021
It’s that time of the year when everyone is making lists of their favorites or what they consider the best of . . . My favorite reads from the past year are a bit all over the place since I read from many genres, but I suppose it’s no surprise that many of these are historical fiction. I’ve finished 142 books this year, but I didn’t try to pick out 21 of the best. (I came close though). These…

Tag your ten most comforting blogs!
Oooh, thank you! ^^ Wait old on- am I.... am I one of your most most comforting blogs??? 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I'm so happy if I am!!
Okay okay- thank you for sending this to me! ^^ I put mine under the cut ^^
And this time I'm tagging anyone who wants to do it!! ^^ Also @padparadscha789 and @lillith-blue
What's your comfort weather? Hmmm, probably storms. Like, bad ones. A giant freaken tree fell on our house once during one and caused us to go stay in our neighbours place for a few ours and I guess I prefer the feeling of being slightly uncomfortable (A good kind of uncomfortable though? Maybe a little excited, I guess?) then anything else.
What's your comfort/favourite song? Oh!! Hm. Comfort song... Probably something loud that I can turn up till it hurts my ears and block everything else out with. Possibly The Devil Went Out To Georgia (The Nickelback version) or Bad Reputation.
What's your comfort movie? Oh oh!! I know this one!! XD The Cars Trilogy (I watched them literally every night my Dad was in hospital) definetly. Toy Story will also do in a pinch. ALSO CHRISTMAS AT ROSEMONT. Its not very good but the couple is cute and Brad Dourif is great and I like to see Grace Zabriskie kick the manipulative pedo bastad's ass. Alllllllso Hush and Freddy Vs Jason.
What's your favourite feature about your home/room? My favourite feature about my room... would have to be... uhh... I'm leaning towards my (Small) collection of Pixar Cars toys XD Hung up on my wall- I just look up there and feel better! ^^ I have Sheriff, Flo, Tex and Lizzie.
What's your favourite snack? Hmmm, either Scotch Fingers (Dipped in tea) or (Blueberry ^^ ) yoghurt.
What's your favourite compliment to receive? If someone calls me interesting? Ahhhhh, my crops will be watered for weeks! ^^ I don't have to be pretty, or smart, but knowing the fact that someone likes the shit comes out of my head??? That means an unbelievable much to me ^^
How does your favourite outfit look like? Uhhhhh pretty basic. Red long sleeve shirt (Really long sleeves!! Go past my fingers! Can do sleeve paws!! I also roll them up a lot though) and (boot leg- not a fan of skinny's) jeans.
Which five songs give you strength? Oh boy... So hard... Uh, weird picks but- Probably September Ends (Reminds me if Night at The Museum!!), She Wont Be Lonely Long by Clay Walker, Yesterday's Song by Hunter Hayes, Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood and Take Me Or Leave Me from Rent. The last four just remind me of really inspired times and I listen and know its my choice getting back there.
What are your top five comfort quotes? COMFORT? QUOTES? JUST FIVE? Oh boy oh boy oh boy- In no particular order, lets go with these ones:
We are creatures of the Underworld; We cannot afford to love. - Harold Zidler, Moulin Rouge
I was raised among books, making invisible friends in pages that seemed cast from dust and whose smell I carry on my hands to this day. - Carlos Ruiz Zafron
It's better this way. A little lonelier, but better. - ??? Basically, I have no qualms with being alone- I prefer it that way. If your presence doesn't better my existence, my time, then I do not want you or need you there. And I mean that in the most sympathetic way possible.
Its not a crime to love what you cannot understand. - Klaus Mikaelson
Self love is an ocean and your heart is a vessel. Make it full, and excess will spill over onto the people you hold dear. But you must come first. - Beau Taplin
Which gesture gives you ultimate comfort? You know when you and your friend are talking to someone and the third party says something (Maybe something annoying, maybe something to do with an inside joke, something you two already realised earlier, etc- whatever) and your friend and you look at each other an just k n o w? Oh I dunno, it just makes you feel like you're part of something.

get to know me
I was tagged by @qveenpascal​! Very much worth a follow. Now, without further ado...
dogs or cats? Dogs. I like cats, too, don’t get me wrong — but I love dogs’ chaotic joy.  youtube celebrities or normal celebrities? Normal celebrities, for sure. My Scorpio ass loves some hot gossip. They provide the best. if you could choose to live anywhere, where would it be? Somewhere I can comfortably afford rent. I love Boston, but Jesus Christ is it expensive to live here. disney or dreamworks? Disney. favourite childhood tv show? Rugrats. I named my goldfish after Spike. I used to race through dinner so I could watch it (until my mom caught on and put a stop to it.) the movie you are looking forward to in 2020? I don’t know if it’ll be out in 2020, but I want The Hating Game to be a movie SO BADLY. favourite book you read in 2019? Oh man. I read so many good books last year. I think it’d have to be Tuck Everlasting, which I just read for the first time. Truly haunting and hopeful and gorgeously-written. (Shout out, though, to Red White and Royal Blue.) marvel or dc? Marvel. if you chose marvel, favourite member of the x-men? I’ve always had a soft spot for Cyclops. night or day? I am a night owl but I prefer the morning. If I was a naturally early-riser, I’d be up at dawn every day to se the sun rise. favourite pokémon? SNORLAX. Obviously. Dude has his priorities straight. top 5 bands/artists? Right now it’s a lot of Jonas Brothers. Overall, though, I really love Snow Patrol, Billie Eilish, Panic at the Disco, and U2. top 10 books? The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron, A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab, Circe by Madeline Miller, The Power by Naomi Alderman, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty, Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by JK Rowling, and Exit West by Mohsin Hamid.  top 4 movies? Coraline, A Little Princess, Jaws, and The Godfather. us or europe? Okay, hear me out: the US. Yes, we are a political dumpster fire. BUT! In terms of just... natural beauty... I mean, I studied abroad in Europe for a semester and as I was flouncing from country to country, I realized I hadn’t even been to all 50 states. Our country is THAT BIG. That’s amazing! We have oceans, mountains, deserts, forests, Great Lakes, amber waves of grain... No, we do not have the history, architecture, or art of Europe. But I like us. tumblr or twitter? Tumblr. I like Twitter, too, but I can bear my heart more easily on here. favourite vacation destination? A three-way tie between N. California, Maine, and the white mountains of New Hampshire. (Sensing a theme here?) favourite youtuber? Sarah Schauer. I miss her Vines. I love her TikToks. I’m grateful for her Youtube channel. favourite author? It used to be Sherman Alexie, but now I think it might be Isabel Allende or Madeline Miller.  tea or coffee? Coffeeeeeee... I am 95% coffee at any given time. otp? You’re gonna have to give me a fandom. I love everyone loving each other. do you play an instrument/song? I can play “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” by Taylor Swift on the accordion (but that’s a story for another time.)
If you wanna play along, go for it. It’s so fun to learn about others!
